Abstract

Nanobiohybrid has recently been grown out of other water purification technologies. The present study reported for the first time to demonstrate the uses of Nanobiohybrid for the effective degradation of 3,4-DHBA in water. Compared with free 3,4-POD, Nanobiohybrid showed greater stabilities in higher alkaline pH and temperature zones. The free 3,4-POD lost its residual activity of 82%, while Nanobiohybrid was 66% after 180 min incubations at 90 ℃. Moreover, Nanobiohybrid could retain 93% and about 50% of its relative activity and overall catalytic efficiency to the free 3,4-POD, respectively. Higher storage stability of the Nanobiohybrid was observed, since it maintained >55% of residual activity compared with free 3,4-POD which was almost 40% after 30 days of storage at both 4 and 25 ℃. Recrudescent Nanobiohybrid could keep >60% of residual activity after ten operational cycles used, endowing to decrease the production costs of 3,4-POD for long term uses. More than 70% of 3,4-DHBA removed by the Nanobiohybrid in less than 4 h treatment, suggesting a reduced time protocol. Therefore, with these overall results analyses we can conclude that the developed Nanobiohybrid here could act as an efficient novel decontamination platform for mineralizing 3,4-DHBA in water.
